Sometimes I really wonder.
Why would they put in the Runed Eternium Rod with these Mats:
1x Eternium Rod
12x Greater Planar Essence
2x Void Crystal
4x Primal Might
1x Runed Adamantite Rod
Yes, i have it. But dammit I wasn't happy making it.

Developers on crack?Follow
With increased ability to make gold, developers MUST couple bigger and better money sinks, in order to prevent inflation. So, it's not developers on crack, but a player who doesn't think things through before he spouts off.
Enchanting is not for the poor.
It just the same way the arcanite rod was pre-BC. That thing cost a fortune

[DIS]enchanting should make you rich enough that the cost of the eternium rod is only a tiny bump on the road. According to Alla, the cost of components is only 468G 40S. That's a lot less than even your epic walker. If you can afford your L60 epic, you can easily afford the Runed Eternium Rod.

I never said I couldn't afford it, quite the opposite.
Other than Engineering I don't see any other trade skills having anything close to this type of Money sink. Keep in Mind we are still the only skill that has to Hawk our wares in the trade channel.
They really need to step up changing enchanting to allow us to make scrolls that can be sold in the AH.
I am well aware of the consensus that DIS-Enchanting makes money.
Believe it or not, there are some of us that actually enjoy enchanting as a skill.

Wel think of alchemic discoveries and how much time AND money it takes for them.
and like people have said, enchanting gives you a load of cash covering the cost to get it. I dont see the same ratios in other proffesions.

My enchanter is a toon I play the same time as my wife plays hers. So as to not get far ahead (I have more play time) I usually go solo instances to get the green (and up) to DE and put the product on the ah. I know alot of people would rather be doing something else with their time and that my situation may be a little unique, but you can really make some money selling enchanting mats. Instead of complaigning about the cost, take a day to do nothing but farm greens do DE (before you start flaming I wasn't aiming that at anyone).

Then what was this QQ about, if it wasn't the expense?

Have you ever tried buying Alchemy recipes?

"has to"? I don't. I'll admit I tried it once or twice before I decided that it wasn't worth it. I level my skill by enchanting my own items. My "customer" is always there, he never complains about the cost, and I never have to "hawk".

If that's your bag, then you should enjoy all aspects of it, which includes the person-to-person interaction necessary to enchant items other than your own.

Most of these items are enchanting supplies, so it doesn't even cost anything to list them at the AH. Making this recipe does not in the least reduce inflation, it makes it worse. By removing items from the market to make something, and simply exchanging the money between two people, there is no "money sink".

Ever tried levelling Blacksmithing? 20+ Thorium Bars each time to create one unwanted piece of armour for a possible level up.
At least your disenchanting can make you some money back...
here is the alchemist's money sink but it's still nice.

Took about a weeks worth of transmuting and buying the mats wasn't cheap what I didn't feel like farming.
But for that week I couldn't make money xmuting anything else because my cooldowns were for this trinket.

Amen...my blacksmith main has been an armorsmith for about 3 years. Mostly because I refuse to switch him over and admit that ALL of that time and money invested in it was a waste.
So I just let my alts do the other professions and hope that Blacksmiths in general and Armorsmiths in particular will get some love.

8 months necros are not healthy.
Considering that on this forum something from 8 months ago might still be on the first page.
I saw a post from me and I said "wtf I don't remember saying that" then I realized that I had said it about a year ago. Trolls ftl
jewel crafting patterns ftl.

Becoming a Transmute Master (alchemy) costs 4 Primal Mights.

Something like the Nethercobra Leg Armor you mean.
That's an interesting idea, though most enchanters prefer using mats of the customer. (At least for high-end enchants, that is.) But hey, every professions has it's advantages and disadvantages. Enchanting is regarded as a very attractive, profitable profession by many people. So no reason for a buff imo.

And add onto that the SSO sinks like Redeemer's Alchemist's Stone.
And lord have mercy on you if you want more than one. I'm a feckless druid who likes to heal and tank and DPS. So of course, I want all 3 stones.
